This paper will concern the gender issue involving stereotyping in workplace when people are supposed set common characters and behaviors of particular gender. In addition, having gender discrimination tendency when stereotype turn into a negative manner in workplace and gender discrimination becoming a big problem in workplace, this paper will considered managers and employees how to face this problem and how to solve it. In the following lines gender stereotypes and discrimination in workplace will be involved with the help of literature.

The gender issue involving stereotyping in the workplace is when a person applies an assumed set of common traits and behaviors of a particular gender; whether it is male or female, to a specific person based on the knowledge of that person’s membership in the gender. Stereotypes may be a negative or positive thing.

1. Definition for Gender StereotypesThe gender issue involving stereotyping in the workplace is when a person applies an assumed set of common traits and behaviors of a particular gender; be it male or female, to a specific person based merely on the knowledge of that person’s membership in the gender. Stereotypes may be positive or negative, but it’s the application of those stereotypes that cause threats to the organization’s infrastructure. 2. Influences in workplace

...Gender is a significant factor in shaping our identies. From birth, children are classified into two categories; male and female. Although research has made it very clear that gender is socially constructed, Gender has been so thoroughly embedded in our institutions, our actions, our beliefs and our desires, that it appears to us to be completely natural. In many cultural contexts, gender can determine, our rights and duties, our social, economic and political roles, what attitudes and behaviors are expected from us and how we are viewed. Contemporary society looks to education as one of the leading agents in preparing and developing young children and adolescence. Schools are key institutions for the construction of gender, creating a prime site for socialization and interaction (MCEECDYA, 1996). Although educational systems do not teach these gender differences to students but rather they reinforce them. These differences can be seen through the different treatment and outcomes between boys and girls at school. Although schools have begun to enforce gender equity, imbalance of genders is still evident.
School curriculum, Textbooks and class readings, Teacher to pupil and pupil to pupil relations, School administration, discipline actions, sport, knowledge, play and assessment are all areas which still display strong gender imbalances. These...

GenderStereotyping in Children
Parents play the role of nurturing their children and preparing them for society, and somewhere in between they have unintentionally introduced their children to genderstereotyping (beliefs and behaviors acceptable for girls and boys). As children grow they start to learn gender typing on their own through biological and environmental influences. Then through observation children develop their...

This introduction reviews some of the key issues that have been studied by researchers focused on gender and diversity in organizations. Issues such as discrimination, afﬁrmative action, barriers to career advancement, and sexual harassment at work are discussed. Although the study of gender and diversity in organizations has expanded in the last decade, key areas of research are still underrepresented. Issues for future research in this area are discussed.
OVERVIEW The issues of gender and diversity in organizations are inextricably linked. Researchers, practitioners, and even laypersons have known for decades that women and racial minorities constitute a growing percentage of the labor force. More importantly, this growth exists at all levels of the organizational hierarchy. That said, however, groups that represent a statistical or social minority, or both continue to face challenges in U.S. organizations. A variety of factors have been shown to inﬂuence work-related outcomes for women and people of color, including overall corporate climate, gender discrimination, sexual harassment, occupational segregation, and...

Stereotyping
When I started looking and thinking about stereotypes the first one that comes to mind is single mom. When you think of single mothers, people always feel that the person is on welfare and not able to take care of her children or herself. That is really a misconception. Sometimes the mother may have chosen to have a child and raise it by herself. The spouse could have passed away and the mother chooses to not remarry. There is numerous reason why a woman chooses to be a single parent. I myself encounter this when I had my first child growing up in the church and with my own family and friends. I wasn’t allowed to sing in the choir, people constantly talked about you behind your back. I felt that it was all because my parents had divorced, but both of them were still active in our lives. “There’s no question that single-mother families struggle in ways that two-parent families don't. Unmarried women juggling jobs and children are apt to have less money, less time and fewer emotional resources to devote to their kids” (Banks, 2012). The big picture is that there are single mothers that are not on welfare and have a wonderful support system.
“The label "single mother" doesn't recognize that. Its fallout swirls around all of us raising children without fathers, like the dust cloud that followed Pig Pen around in those old...

...the company’s personnel. Many companies can expect to employ people from all backgrounds, races, and ages, which inevitably bring various life experiences to the table. Diversity is an essential component within any firm and is usually sought out to some degree by management. Variety often injects a firm with flair and keeps them consistent with the competitive edge. However, businesses are then tasked with the challenge of creating a sense of synergy amongst the various groups within their organization. This task can be overwhelming and detrimental to the company’s success if not executed properly. Take for instance the various age groups that exist within a company. It probably does not compare with what it used to be ten or twenty years ago. Managers must truly understand the differences in their employees if they are to devise and implement a successful strategy to motivate their employees.
It is an organization’s responsibility to truly understand what motivates its employees. After all, a productive and positive workforce can be the most powerful mechanism driving a company’s success(Hubbard 47). There are many factors to take into consideration when formulating a strategy. One of the most important traits can be the various age groups that exist within a corporation. Generational diversity is not a new concept, but one that many companies are trying to embrace. Gone are the old methods and ideology that a “one-size-fits-all”...

...peaked interest in new leadership theories, we need to ask ourselves why the sudden interest? What is the benefit of studying other cultures? Why do we need to understand the problems that may come up in regards to gender differences? What is the importance of being a diverse organization? The answers to these questions will help us to improve our organizations.
There are other looming issues other than the previous questions. One major issue is “the extent to which leadership theories developed and tested in one culture can be generalized to different cultures” (Yukl, pg 436). Each culture is very different from the next, so how can we rely on theories that have been developed and tested on one specific culture to apply to everyone? The answer is we cannot! Many organizations have grown and expanded overseas. The globalization of these growing organizations has called for a need to understand other cultures. It is important for companies to have an understanding of cross-cultural leadership. It is vital to having a business relationship in other parts of the world. We need to understand how cultural values can influence leader behavior and what are other cultures beliefs about effective leadership.
Another hurdle we must leap onto is the issue of gender. The businesswomen of today are much stronger than one might think. Women have been fighting for equality for a long time. In fact August 26 of each year is designated in...

Part 1: Diversity Self-Knowledge
I define diversity as what makes a person different and unique from others. The differences range from a person’s religious affiliation to their race and culture. Foster (2006) suggests that people tend to feel the need to categorize things, and to label everything with a name. Foster (2006) goes on to say that labeling things and people comes with many negative consequences. I feel the reason we, as a society, feel the need to categorize people is because we want to set an order to the world around us. By doing this, it allows us understand how and why certain people act and respond to different situations. The unfortunate part is that this type of reasoning does not allow for us to take into an account for a person’s uniqueness as an individual.
I do believe I am a unique and diverse person. I am an English speaking Caucasian male with a very gentle spirit. I am a patient person that is slow to speak and quick to listen. I have a high tolerance level, yet I do not accept excuses for low achievers. I am a Christian that loves the Lord with all my heart and know that I am making a difference here on Earth. I am a task oriented person and am project driven. I am a quick learner and am not afraid to jump into a task head first. I am an outdoorsman that enjoys hunting and fishing with my family,...
